You do not understand what it is to be a programmer. Programmers fix bugs. It might be boring but it's required. Programmers document. It also might be boring but it's required. Programmers write unit tests. We've hired people that don't want to do the non-fun stuff. They don't last long, they generally come in, cause problems for the team and then leave. The people that are willing to do what's needed even if it isn't fun are much better to have on a team.
- re-actor 7y agoYou do not understand what the parent comment meant. It's not bug fixing he's opposed to. It's busywork and the idea that a programmer themselves have no idea how their time might be well spent. So much human potential wasted by corporate efficiency tyrants that do nothing other than burn out their employees.

- hindsightbias 7y agoWhile I’m fortunate to work for an org that pushes training, my generation was not given much feature work at the start. We were expected to take over support and learn the systems and graduate into development/architecture some day. That’s how monoliths swung. Today, that’s clearly out of fashion. Nobody seems to maintain anything and the next group wants to reimplement much of the same function in the new flavor of the month. Anecdotally, it does not all look more stable, bug free and performant but it does seem more fun. /okboomer
